What Is The Cause Of Pain And Cramping In My Lower Abdomen After An Abdominal Hernia Surgery?

I had abdominal hernia surgery a week ago. Have had 2 bowel movements, eating and drinking normally, lots of water. My operation was lyposcopic and done on the upper right abdominal area where there was a previous incision. Im feeling pain and cramping in my lower abdomen underneath of where the repair was done it almost feels like another hernia maybe even worse. Wondering if you could explain this pain or any options it could be maybe bruising on the inside from operation?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it appears to be the surgical hernia,a herniation due to failure of the union of the sutures.
The diarrhea may be due to the adhesion,infection, or due to the gasric irritation to the drugs used.
I advise you to consult your doctor, for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms ofloxacin,ranitidine,and loperamide, if there is frequency.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
